Why is the Number 11 Getting People's Attention Worldwide?
Are you seeing the number 11 everywhere? You are not alone! This 11 phenomenon is happening all over the world. What is going on? I will seek to find the answer with you.
If 11's are driving you crazy you are part of a group of people who have been having this experience. You are probably drawn to this number on a digital clock far more than mathematically probable or seemingly possible. You experience streaks where it seems you keep seeing 11's everywhere. The number 11 and often multiples of it, such as 22 and 33 appear on receipts, license plates or in other various odd ways. This probably started happening to you all of a sudden.
If you happened to stumble upon this page and are thinking this is just one person with a vivid imagination, then open another browser and do a couple searches on the subject of people seeing the number 11 everywhere and the 11 experience... You will see that this is shockingly widespread. This isn't a couple of drunk people in a field seeing UFOs. From my own observations I would say that most people weren't even aware that such a phenomenon existed until they started experiencing it themselves. So now hopefully you're back from your searches and we can continue this journey together...
I had never heard of this before it started happening to me. One night I glanced at the clock on my computer and it was 9:11. Not the first time certainly, but there was something different. It was like this number was calling my attention and it gave me chills. I thought it was just a 9/11 awareness thing, since this was about a year after the terrorist attack on America. Before any doubters write it off to an awareness of that attack, there are scores of people who had this experience before that day.
So then it started to happen to me in a big way. I would happen to glance at the clock and it would be 11 after at a much higher frequency than it should be. Since there is a 1 out of 60 chance of the clock being at any particular minute and since I maybe look at the clock an average of 3 or 4 times an hour, I should not see that number half a dozen times out of, say, a 16 or 17 hour day. I should not wake up in the night and have it 11 minutes after the hour about 25% of the time for the last 6 plus years.
I wrote it off to coincidence for a long time. I laughed and joked about it. Then it became a little annoying. I would start to just kind of ignore it like I was ignoring an annoying person. The elevens would not get the hint. I would flip the channel to a ball game and the game clock would be stopped at 11:11. This would again happen at an incredibly improbable frequency. I look over at a car dealership that I have driven by many times in my life that was founded by a distant relative and realize for the first time that the number on it is 1111. All in the midst of this happening that many people would write off as a coincidence. This coincidence would probably be in line of winning the lottery 5 times in a row. Since I am not alone in this, it would be like many people had done the same.

What the 11:11 Phenomenon Is and Isn't
It Isn't:
Something people are just imagining. Some people will write it off as people having a heightened awareness of this 11:11 experience and subconsciously attracting what they are thinking about. Since there are so many people who thought they were alone in this until they searched the internet about it, this would not apply to the many in that group. I only wish I had that ability to have even a fraction of that kind of subconscious awareness.
My own experience is that the more I go along with it, the less it happens. It is when I am not thinking about it that the so called 11 coincidences start happening. On a busy day when you are thinking of a million things is when it is likely to occur. I myself, seldom go to bed at the same time. If I wake up it could be any hour, yet the proportion of times that it has been 11 minutes after the hour is staggering.
If it weren't for the thousands of people experiencing this out of the blue, you could easily write it off as one of those quirky things that people with vivid imaginations might experience. The fact that so many people have such a similar strange experience makes it a really fascinating mystery.
So what does it all mean? There are a lot of theories and facts surrounding this. One common thought is that seeing the number 11 all the time is a wake up call. But to and from what? Is it end times Bible prophecy? Does this tie in with the Mayan calendar? We will explore those things in depth soon.
